Season 2026

Cup competitions

Three cups running alongside the regular league: two knockouts and a five-week points table. Every fantasy team auto-enrolled in all three. Each one with its own scope, its own rules, and its own colour.

The competitions

How the cups work

  • Auto-enrolled

    Every verified fantasy team is in every cup. New teams joining before a cup's draw date slot straight in.

  • Head-to-head, mostly

    In the BHPL and the BH Cup you play one other team each round and the higher score advances. The Junior Festival has no opponents: it is a running total across five weeks.

  • Bonuses still count

    Cup quirks ride on top of regular scoring. 50s, 100s, 3-fers, 5-fers, POTM, SOC all contribute.

  • Tiebreaker

    If two teams score identically on the day, the team with the better current main-league rank advances.

  • Different scopes

    BHPL counts adult Saturday and Sunday league matches. The Junior Festival counts only official Sussex JCF festival games, and only the youth players in your XI. The BH Cup counts everything.

  • Trophy cabinet

    The BHPL and the BH Cup each end in a single final between the last two teams standing. The Junior Festival is won on cumulative points after its fifth week. Win a cup and your name leads its page for the rest of the season.
